If Manny is playing for an American team, then aren't his countrymen Americans?

Apperantly you don't, you think you need a boat to get to LA.

That's the ploy, we tell them to get on the boat to LA and we send them back to the Caribbean. CLEAN up all ourcities and towns in one swoop :)

Camper: Nice to see that you learned to spell the word racist, it always makes a more impactful statement when you insult a person and spell the angry words correctly. When your grandma gets off the phone you should plug in the dial-up and become better informed on libel. I'm sure that if you can learn to spell you can do anything.

Mourn Manny's leaving?? You have got to be kidding. They guy had it made, but his pompous attitude, lack of drive, laziness, and sense of entitlement have done him in! The Red Sox managment tolerated his stupidity for long enough...too long if you ask me!
It really says something when all but one of his teammates wanted him gone. LA deserves him. Bring on the dedicated, hard-working ballplayers who work hard every day...without expecting praise from "above". Guys like Lowell, Big Papi, Pedroia, Youklis, Varitek, and now.....Bay!
Good Riddance!

It's always interesting for me to read comments on news articles relating to hispanics. There always seems to be a bunch of racist pricks writing comments that have nothing to do with the real topic being discussed. How dissapointing is it to live in Maine and find more racism in a state like Mass. which was created by people who came to this country as immigrants who couldn't speak english. Seriously folks, let's stick to the topic here. Manny Ramirez is a great ball player and like all employers Boston isn't willing to pay what he's worth, so like many employees,he is leaving to find a better paying job. Who wouldn't do that if given the chance?

I always liked Manny, but when he bailed out the day his most ardent supporter, Big Papi, came back that was it for me. Regardless of your feelings for management you never desert those you go into battle with.

Last night , Jason Bay got both runs, he hit a 3 base shot which allowed him to get the winning run when a single was hit
the red sox are winning in the 8 th inning right now with a score of 12 to 2, jason bay hit a 3 run homer in the FIRST inning
youkalis has hit 2 HR's in tonight's game
Still think we are going to Miss the Manny ? I think not .
When Clemens left, the naysayers were sure we would never ever win anything, Personally i happy to see that crybaby leave,
same thing with Nomar ( who names their kid by reversing the letters in their own name, Really ) and with pedro,
but is seem to me that since all these primadonnas have left , the sox have won 2 world series
do i miss any of them , not on your life and I won't miss manny either.

Being A Red Sox Fan For As Long As I Can Remenber,I Am Very Pleased That Manny Is Gone! When He Stated Send Me To Iraq To Play Baseball, That Was A Low Blow.Does He Realize How ,Parents Loved One's Are Fightig In An Enless War ,And Dying For This Country.And I Am Sure The LA Dodgers Wont Put Up With Manny Being Manny. PS Red Sox Won On A Jason Bay Triple,And The LA Dodges Lost On A Ground Out By Manny To Shortstop On A 6 4 3 Play.

The Facts are The Facts here people wether you are Dominican or American it does not matter ,What matters most is that when you sign a contract you are supposed to honor that contract and not go back on your word. Manny didn't just not honor his contract he let the fans down and his team mates down. I don't care what nationality he is he was paid very well to play a childs game. And all he cared about was himself. And whatever you say about David Ortiz leaving is all a bunch of crap ,David enjoys being in Boston and he himself was sick of Manny being Manny and haveing to answer for him. David even told Manny we need you man don't give up on us ,And what does Manny do he gives up 1-2-3 Strikes you're out by Mariano Rivera as he lets the bat sit on his shoulder and then he says my knees hurt and sits out all part of his childish games he plays when he doesn't get his way. It's like a kid says when he doesn't get his way he will take his ball and go home boo hoo Manny Enjoy LA LA Land.

Why does every paper only ask IDIOTS about the trade.
Ask real baseball fans...Jason Bay is not replacing Manny...simply he is the player that we got in return that happens to be pretty good and it showed tonight.
Eff all the dominicans....Manny is and will always be a horses A#$

first off, nomar is white... hollywood is dominately white, always has been, from its executive directos/producers down to the cameo appearence of an actor/actress in a movie for 2 seconds.. and no one cares abt race in this city, its about winning, if you are clouding or preventing us from winning, whether with your bat or your mouth, get the hell out of here... so guss, next time you post on here, just know you are talking to some of the greatest fans in the world, and know that we know alot more abt baseball than any other franchises fans do... hahaa white people in boston, pathetic assumption
